Concert will benefit Banquet in Salem

July 17, 2014

The Summer Concert Series Waterworth Park will host a benefit concert for the Banquet in Salem at 7 p.m. Friday. Will Hallewell and Chloe Kyser will provide the entertainment with a mix of songs that are personal favorites performed at the Banquet in Salem. Hallewell has written many of the songs they will be singing. He writes songs with western themes, love songs, and patriotic songs. The Banquet in Salem provides a hot meal from 5 to 7 p.m. every Monday and the last Thursday of each month at the Salem Memorial Building to anyone needing warm food and fellowship. Forty sponsors comprised of churches, businesses, service clubs, school groups, and individuals support it. Approximately 200 individuals and families attend each meal. These meals serve many different kinds of needs for families on limited income, or individuals who enjoy the fellowship of eating with others. A donation will be received during the concert and all money received will go directly to the Banquet in Salem to provide meals. (Submitted photo)
